Laparoscopy For Infertility

This procedure allows us to determine the abnormalities of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries whether there are any defects such as scar tissue, endometriosis, fibroid tumors, congenital abnormalities and polycystic ovaries and other.

In some women the fallopian tubes are blocked. This can prevent sperm and egg from coming together, causing infertility. With laparoscopy, if any defects are found then they can sometimes be corrected with operative laparoscopy which involves placing instruments through ports in the scope and through additional, narrow (5 mm) ports.
